(2/4 time)  Key of A (capo up two)

"Ladies and Gentlemen. please a round of applause if you would from Gull Island, Newfoundland, this is Mr S�an McCann"
(first verse acapello with one strum where indicated)
Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a (C)night I'll never for-(G)get
(G)Some of the boys got (Em)loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet;
Well I said (G)Some of the boys got (Em)loaded drunk and they ain't got sober yet;
"Oh yeah! it's good to be home"
Well as (G)long as the bottle was passed around every (C)man was feelin' (G)gay
O'-(G)Leary came with the bagpipes, some (C)music (D)for to (G)play

Chorus:
/(G)That's how they /showed their re/(C)spect for Paddy /(G)Murphy  /
(G)That's how they /(Em)showed their /(C)honour and their /(D)pride;
They /(G)said it was a /sin and shame and they /(C)winked at one a/(G)nother
And /(G)every drink in the /(Em)place was full the /(C)night Pat(D) Murphy /(G)died
G / C / G /  D  x2

As /(G)Mrs. Murphy /sat in the corner /(C)pouring out her /(G)grief
/(G)Kelly and his /(Em)gang came /(C)tearing down the /(D)street
They /(G)went into an /empty room and a /(C)bottle of whiskey /(G)stole
They /(G)put the bottle /(Em)with the corpse to /(C)keep that (D)whiskey /(G)cold

Chorus
G / C / G /  D  x2

About /(G)two o'clock in the /morning after /(C)empty'ing the /(G)jug
/(G)Doyle rolls up the/ (Em)ice box lid to /(C)see poor Paddy's/(D) mug
We /(G)stopped the clock so /Mrs. Murphy /(C)couldn't tell the /(G)time
And /(G)at a quarter /(Em)after two we /(C)argued (D)it was/(G)nine

Chorus
Bridge: GO!
G/G/ C/ C/ G/ G/C D / G/ x2

They (G)stopped the funeral hearse /out-/(C)side Sundance /(G)Saloon
/(G)They all went in at/ (Em)half past eight and /(C)staggered out at /(D)noon
They /(G)went up to the /graveyard, so/(C) holy and sub-/(G)lime
/(G)Found out when they /(Em)got there, they'd /(C)left the (D)corpse be-/(G)hind!

Chorus
G / C / G /  D  x2
(Repeat first verse and chorus)
Oh (G)every drink in the /(Em)place was full the /(C)night Pat (D)Murphy (G)died!
Consequence Free
by Alan Doyle (6/8) (In the key of E  so capo up two frets)

Intro:  Na nana na nana na-ah na D  G 
oh(D)na na na (G)na na na na-ah (D)na   (G) /(hold for mandola two measures*)/
/(D)Wouldn't it be (A)great if no one /(G)ever got of-/(A)fended,
/(D)And wouldn't it be /(A)great to say what's /(G)really on your /(A)mind?
/(D)I've always /(A)said all the /(G)rules are made for /(A)bending,
And /(D)if I let my/(A)hair down, would /(G)that be such a /(A)crime?

Chorus:
Oh, /(G)I want to /(A)be /(D)consequence /free
/(G)I want to /(A)be where /(D)nothing needs to /(A)matter
Oh, /(G)I want to /(A)be /(D)consequence /free
Just say /(D)na na na /(G)na na na na-ah /(D)na   /(G)
I said, /(D)na na na /(G)na na na na-ah /(D)na   /(G)

(D)Well I could really /(A)use to /(G)lose my Catholic /(A)conscience
/(D)'Cause I'm getting /(A)sick of feeling /(G)guilty all the /(A)time
/(D)I won't a-/(A)buse it, yeah, I've /(G)got the best in-/(A)tentions,
/(D)Oh a little bit of a-/(A)narchy, but /(G)not the hurting/ (A)kind
Chorus

Bridge: A    /(G)Well I couldn't /(D)sleep at all last /(F#m) night
'cause I had/(A) so much on my /(G)mind /
(G)I'd like to /(D)leave it all be-(F#m)hind
But you /(A)know it's not that /(G)easy/
/Oh , (A)but  "just one night"/


(D)Wouldn't it be /(A)great if the /(G)band just never /(A)ended
/(D)We could stay out /(A)late, and we would /(G)never hear last /(A)call
/(D)We wouldn't need to /(A)worry about ap/(G)proval or per/(A)mission,
we could /(D)Slip off the /(A)edge, and never /(G)worry about the /(A)fall
Chorus:

* or play last three string only to the rhythm of /na../na na /nana na /na na /na
D =  4 5 7,  /4 5 5,  4 4 4 /
G =   2 5 2,  2 5 2,  2 5 5  / 2 5 4, 2 5 2  (capo is at 2)
/ D   (full stroke; buffer sixth string)
